Description Roman Snitko 2008-08-31 15:06:05 UTC 
Please describe the problem:
man for gnome-terminal says the '--tab' option opens a new tab in the last opened window. However, it opens a new window instead.

Steps to reproduce:
1. Open gnome-terminal
2. Type 'gnome-terminal --tab' - a new window opens
3. Then once again 'gnome-terminal --tab', another (third) window if terminal opens.

Actual results:


Expected results:
I was expecting a new tab opens, just like the man says.

Does this happen every time?
yes. I thought it might be Compiz or Emerald who confuse windows id or something. I checked without compiz and Emerald - the problem remains.
